Cell Signalling starts with a brief history and general principles of cell signalling. It then turns to an examination of signals and their perception. It also discusses modifications to proteins that control cell signalling. Next, it looks at intracellular signals. The text also covers cell development before explaining cell signalling disorders, cancers, and apoptosis. Towards the end, the text moves on to stress responses and the changing cell environment. Finally, the book looks to the future, including challenges and perspectives in cell signalling, such as how its manipulation may enable new medical treatments or increase efficiency in agriculture.

Thrive in Cell Biology first of all introduces cell biology. It then looks at methods of studying cell biology and biological membranes. After that, it turns to the structure and activities of prokaryotic cells and the molecular biology of the prokaryotes. The nucleus is also considered, as is the cytosol and cytoskeleton. After that, the text looks at the endoplasmic reticulum and the golgi apparatus. Other chapters examine chloroplast, photosynthesis, mitochondria, hydrogenosomes, and mitosomes. The second part of the book is about the cellular environment, and chapters in this part look at eukaryotic cell walls and extracellular matrix and connective tissues. The next part of the book is about cell integration and the life cycle. This part considers cell signalling, the eukaryotic cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis, and cell death. The last part of the book is about viruses.
